Safety Management System

Overview:

As a GROUP we have a Safety Management System [SMS] to formally organise for a safe environment for staff, contractors, temporary employees, students and visitors. This is an on-going process which aims to promote continuous improvement in the way we manage safety. It is part of the overall management of the GROUP.

The SMS sets out the issues to be addressed and is a tool to develop improvement programmes and self-audits or assessments.

There are five key steps to achieving a successful SMS.

The Safety Statement of the GROUP contains a number of parts listed here:
